In the Name of Ayatollah

This show focuses sharply on several chilling reports that democracy activists were raped with religious justification in Iran, as part of a frenzy of fundamentalist punishment after the Presidential elections of June 2009. Two rape victims tell their terrifying stories from their refuge in adjoining Turkey; two distinguished human rights experts confirm the reports; and a defector from the pro-government Basiji militia draws the line from a gang rape operation he refused to take part in through his Commander to the Supreme Religious Leader Ayatollah Khameini.
